Great job. More importantly for me is HOW LONG did it take you to conserve the coin from the B & A images? Also, will you please estimate the % of soak time and actual hands on work? Thanks, and please keep them coming.
Insider, my friend had no trouble to clean this coin..Under microscope, it took him 3 hours..Experience and a calm hand..
This is very interesting. If this coin cleaner is using professional skills as seems to be the case, it would seem his services for 3 hours would be worth as much as the coin. This is comparing to what we pay people who fix air conditioners or drive school busses. It is no wonder that so many people dump a hundred coins in pot of lye and stir resulting in what we see here so very often posted by those who believe that AU 1/5, 1/5 is a nice coin. How many years does it take a person of appropriate calm 'hand' to learn this skill? How many of the people who have that skill take the 'advanced degree' in tooling a VG Vespasian into an EF Vitellius? Value having a friend like this one.
